I was wondering if there might be a handful of folks out there that have Discatcher Minis that might be willing to loan them to me for one day, Saturday, May 1, to use as centerpieces for the tables at my son's bar mitzvah luncheon. We're getting some custom-stamp minis done to give out as party favors, and thought that it'd be cool to have the baskets on the tables with the minis in them. Don't expect to use them outdoors or anything like that, and other than some risk of getting food or drink on them (which of course we'd clean), there shouldn't be any significant risk of damage. We'd make arrangements to pick them up and return them. I'm thinking that five or six of them would probably be enough. Would appreciate anyone who could let us borrow one or more -- just can't see paying $100 each to buy them myself (I'm probably going to buy him one as a present, but six would be a stretch).

I have one you can borrow. Key word:borrow. You may borrow it and come pick it up at your convience. But I would prefer that it would be returned in a timely manner and it be conviently returned to me so I don't have any stress getting it back.

I had a mini basket at my wedding as a centerpiece on the grooms cake. It has a top circular panel that I could make a plate for. The plate on the top is currently wedding themed, but I would change it to something more Bar-mitz-va-ish if you like. I'll see you plenty of times between now & then, we'll talk.

Will certainly do everything possible to make it stress-free for anyone generous enough to allow me to borrow one. Appreciate it.

For those of you who've volunteered to loan mini baskets, how many of you will be at Flyboy next weekend? I didn't think I could convince the wife to let me go down there, with the big day less than a month away and one remaining weekend completely taken up with the AO, but if I can combine it with picking up some of the baskets, I might be able to get down there on Saturday and possible take some pix while I'm there.

OK. I think I have clearance to make the drive down to Flyboy next Saturday, pick up the baskets, and maybe take some photos while I'm there. I'll follow up by PM with everyone who's volunteered to see if they're going to be down there. Thanks again to everyone!

Many thanks to Andrew, Dan M., Grease, Scott H., Gerrit, Bob Pressley, and Wookie for loaning us baskets, and to Wade Selph for loaning us the ScorePointe, for the bar mitzvah lunch. Andrew also created some custom number-plates for the two DGA baskets, which worked great. It was a huge success -- Ari loved it, and we even made at least one new disc golfer out of an older relative who was so interested, we ended up going straight from the lunch to ERP to play 18 holes before the evening party.

Here's some pix:

I'll get the baskets back to their respective owners as soon as possible. If you're going to be at singles or doubles at ERP this week, let me know and I'll make sure to get the baskets back to you then. Look for PMs from me soon to work out details.
